How can a wave carry information?

Which statement describes a scientific theory?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A theory changes based on new observations and testing.

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a product of multiple trials and repeated experiments. It usually follows after carefully conducting and testing the validity of the hypothesis.

A scientific theory provides an explanation into how something behaves.

A law just states a finding will not explain it.

Most theories are tenable and can be improved upon when new observations and testing are carried out.

A car of mass 750 kg accelerates away from traffic lights. At the end of the first 100 m it has reached a speed

malfutka [58]

the work done on the car by the force of its engine is 78,000 J.

" The work done on the car by the force of friction is 24,000 J.

Increasing the car's kinetic energy at the end of the first 100 m is 54,000J

a. Completed work = force x distance. Engine output = 780 N, that is,

780 N x 100 m = 78,000 J.

b. Completed work = force x distance. Friction force = 240 N, that is,

240 N x 100 m = 24,000 J.

c. Kinetic energy = 1 \ 2 x m x v2

= 1 \ 2 x 750 kg x 12 squared = 375 x 144 = 54,000 J.

<h3>How powerful is the engine of a car? </h3>

Mainstream car and truck engines typically produce 100-400 pounds. -Torque feet. This torque is generated by the engine piston as it moves up and down on the engine crankshaft, causing the engine to rotate (or twist) continuously.

Compare and contrast potential and kinetic energy

inysia [295]

Kinetic and Potential Energy HistoryA roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton's first two laws relate force and acceleration, which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks, Newton's laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from 'The Swings' to The 'Hammer'. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A roller coaster rider is in an gravitational field except with the Principle of Equivalence.Potential EnergyPotential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. A lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it has very little kinetic energy.Kinetic Energy The word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. Hope this helped:))))

IBM has a fast computer that it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do '136.8

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

138.6 megacalculations

Explanation:

This is a pretty straightforward one.

All it needs is to convert the degree of measurement.

Dimensions in physics are attributed names, which state the power to which they're are raised. Just as how

Kilo and Mega means the numbers are raised to the power of 3 and 6 respectively. There also exists the ones that indicates how small, such as milli and micro, which are to the powers of -3 & -6.

The question says the IBM computer calculates at an astonishing 136.8 teracalculations.

Tera in physics means it's raised to the power of 12. Thus, the IBM calculates at an astonishing rate of

136.8*10^12 calculations per second.

We're then asked how many calculations it does in 1 micro second. Like I had highlighted earlier, 1 micro second is 1 raised to the power of -6. Or succinctly put,

1 micro second = 1*10^-6.

If the IBM does

138.6*10^12 = 1 second,

Then it does

x = 1*10^-6 second.

When we cross multiply, we have

138.6*10^12 * 1*10^-6, and that is

138.6*10^6 calculations, or say, 138.6 megacalculations.

The IBM does 138.6 megacalculations in 1 micro second, which is still astonishing, by the way

If f(x) = -x2+x-1 then value of f(f(2)) is

qaws [65]

Answer:

-13

Explanation:

Function

f(x) = -x² + x - 1

Solving

Substitute 2 in place of x
f(2) = -(2)² + 2 - 1
f(2) = -4 + 2 - 1
f(2) = -3
f(f(2)) = f(-3)
f(-3) = -(-3)² - 3 - 1
f(-3) = -9 - 3 - 1
f(f(2)) = -13
